Many of us when flying to the US, drive to Buffalo and fly from there. Buffalo to Toronto is a little over 2hrs. Don't forget to load up on booz when you are coming and going at the Duty Free!


Be careful on how much you load up. I remember having to pay a hefty duty on my Rye and 'surrendered to the crown' some whiskey.

The Canadian immigrations officer kept asking how long we were planning on fishing in Canada and then looked at our stock pile. Only allowed two cases or two liters per person or something like that. We were way over the limit. They finally let us enter after a 45 minute vehicle search.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention the Canadian Ballet... it's worth a peek

Wow, I never had a problem liekthisentering the US. But then again I only took what was possible to consume the time I was staying, then hit the Duty Free again on the way back. They probably thought youguys were trying to sell the extra to offset the cost! lol

Might as well stop and get a hotdog at Tony Packos in Toledo.

If you like old corvettes, it's worth stopping off at ProTeam in Napoleon, OH. I bought a 66 from them 25 years ago.
